Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 944: Chapter 944: Justice for Xue Zhao

Xue Zhao turned his head to look at Ye Qingchen, a flash of surprise and relief in his eyes.

She knew that Ye Qingchen would definitely appear.

When he said yesterday that he was going to give her a surprise, Xue Zhao vaguely guessed what it was.

Xue Wei, on the other hand, frowned, obviously feeling uneasy and angry at Ye Qingchen’s sudden appearance.

Ye Qingchen’s appearance was like a bombshell, instantly causing a stir in the arena.

The family members started discussing among themselves, many recognizing him and speculating about the changes his arrival might bring.

”That’s Ye Qingchen! Why is he here?” a young family member said in surprise.

”What is he doing here? Speaking so loudly, he’s not even part of the Xue Family,” another person said, full of confusion.

Ye Qingchen’s gaze swept across the entire venue, finally fixing on Xue Wei.

His eyes were full of cold sharpness and determination, as if announcing his arrival.

Xue Wei met his gaze, feeling an indescribable pressure, but still feigned composure.

”Ye Qingchen, what are you doing here?” Xue Wei’s voice carried a hint of anger and unease.

Ye Qingchen smiled faintly and walked determinedly to the center of the arena.

A few powerful individuals followed closely behind him, exuding an imposing aura.

Every step he took carried an invisible pressure, causing the atmosphere in the venue to become tense instantly.

Xue Wei looked at these people, feeling a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

”I am here, of course, to reveal the truth and bring justice for Xue Zhao.”

Ye Qingchen’s voice was calm, yet carried immense determination and power.

As soon as Ye Qingchen finished speaking, the entire venue fell into silence, but this silence lasted only a few seconds before the audience began whispering and discussing fervently.

”What justice? What’s the meaning of this?” a middle-aged man asked in confusion, frowning.

”Yeah, what is Ye Qingchen talking about? Could there be an ulterior motive to the competition?” a young family member couldn’t help but interject.

”He’s here to cause trouble, isn’t he? Suddenly appearing at such a critical moment, bringing so many people with him.”

Another member clearly held a skeptical attitude towards Ye Qingchen’s arrival.

The audience was filled with confusion and surprise, exchanging puzzled looks, not knowing what kind of justice Ye Qingchen was referring to.

Everyone was waiting for Ye Qingchen to explain, hoping he could provide a clear answer.

”What did Ye Qingchen mean by what he just said? Is there really something wrong with Xue Wei?” a woman asked her friend quietly.

”I’m not sure either, but from the looks of it, he probably has something important to say, right? Otherwise, he wouldn’t appear at such a time,” the friend replied, also filled with doubt.

”If there’s something hidden, that would be a big deal! This competition determines the Saint Heir’s final result!”

Another person spoke with a hint of tension in their voice.

As the discussions grew louder, the atmosphere in the arena became more tense and complicated.

Many began to suspect whether Ye Qingchen’s appearance would uncover some unspeakable secrets.

Others worried whether this would affect the fairness and final result of the competition.

Xue Wei’s supporters appeared somewhat anxious, not wanting Ye Qingchen’s presence to undermine Xue Wei’s advantage.

Meanwhile, Xue Zhao’s supporters showed a hint of anticipation, as if seeing a glimmer of hope for change.

”Ye Qingchen wouldn’t come here for no reason; he surely has something important to say!” a young man said firmly.

”Exactly, I hope he can uncover the truth and bring justice for Xue Zhao,” another woman nodded in agreement.

In this chaotic situation, everyone’s eyes were focused on Ye Qingchen, waiting for his next move and explanation.

Every word and action of Ye Qingchen would determine the development of the situation to follow.

At this moment, the Family Head, seeing Ye Qingchen suddenly appearing at such a critical moment with several powerful individuals, was immediately furious.

He stood up abruptly, glaring with wide eyes, his voice booming across the square like thunder: ”Ye Qingchen, a foreigner like you, how dare you cause trouble at such an important occasion in the Xue Family? This competition has nothing to do with you, what qualifies you to interfere?”

The Family Head’s rebuke carried immense authority, his gaze like a torch as if trying to see through Ye Qingchen from inside out.

The square was instantly filled with commotion, many feeling tense due to the Family Head’s anger.

However, at this moment, an Elder standing beside the Family Head suddenly frowned, a flash of doubt and surprise in his eyes.

He scrutinized the faces of those behind Ye Qingchen, feeling more and more familiar with them.

”Family Head, please remain calm.” This Elder suddenly reached out, stopping the Family Head from further rebuke.

The Family Head turned to the Elder, clearly unhappy with his interruption: ”Elder, what are you doing?”

The Elder took a deep breath, his gaze once again sweeping over the powerful individuals behind Ye Qingchen, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He lowered his voice and said, ”Family Head, look carefully at the people Ye Qingchen brought with him; they seem to be—”

Upon hearing this, the Family Head’s gaze shifted back to Ye Qingchen’s companions, his expression gradually turning from anger to confusion and surprise.

He finally recognized them as those seniors and powerhouses from the Secret Realm.

These individuals usually stand guard inside the Secret Realm, why would they appear at such a time?

It was known that these people were significant figures in the Xue Family.

”What... what’s going on here?” the Family Head’s voice carried a noticeable tremor.

”Family Head, it seems things are not simple.”

The Elder’s face was solemn, and he faintly sensed that Ye Qingchen’s arrival must have a significant reason.

So, he turned to Ye Qingchen, his tone softening slightly: ”Ye Qingchen, you brought these people here, what exactly is your purpose?”

Ye Qingchen’s gaze was unwavering, as he smiled slightly and stepped forward.

His voice was calm and powerful: ”Family Head, and all the Elders present, I, Ye Qingchen, have indeed come for something important. Please remain calm and let me explain clearly.”

The Elder’s intervention temporarily quelled the Family Head’s anger, but he remained stern, speaking coldly: ”Ye Qingchen, this is the Xue Family’s occasion, you better have a reasonable explanation.”

Ye Qingchen nodded and turned to face the crowd in the square, taking a deep breath, his voice resonant: ”To all the Xue Family Members, I, Ye Qingchen, have come here today to reveal Xue Wei’s unfair means in the competition and bring justice to Xue Zhao!”

His words were like a stone causing countless ripples, immediately sparking discussions among the people in the square, the atmosphere suddenly tense.

All eyes focused once more on Ye Qingchen, anticipating him to uncover the truth and expose Xue Wei’s improper conduct.
